Fate fandom snapshot
Okay so I love reading everyone’s thoughts about Fate on Tumblr, so thought it would be fun to do a Fate specific ask game.
Rules: answer the questions. No need to tag (but feel free to), write something short or long, answer in gifs only, include five million links to fics, gifs, or previous posts. Whatevs. If you love Fate and want to talk about it, then you’re the person I’d love to hear from!
Why did you fall in love with Fate?
Who do you ship?
Why do you ship them?
Have you changed your feelings about any of the characters?
Name 1-3 scenes that had you screaming WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?
Following the above up, what do you think it means?
Pick 3 things you love about Fate
Pick 3 things that frustrate you about Fate (let’s assume its cancellation is one of these)
What scene makes you lol the most?
What scene gives you all the feels?
Is there anything you wish you could contribute to the fandom but feel like you don’t have the creativity or time to make? (Perhaps someone might read this and do it for you!)
Pick 3 creations that you love about the fandom and why (doesn’t have to be fanfic: gifsets, fanart, tumblr meta essays etc are all relevant! And yes I know it’s hard to pick just 3 but this isn’t a popularity contest, and no one will be offended: just as creators create what they like, the people that benefit from them have their own preferences too!)
Any final thoughts?

Oh oh oh! Tell me more about "The Voice of Nature" WIP! 😍
This one is heavily inspired by an OG episode of the cartoon (also called Voice of Nature) where the Alfean fairies have to spend an afternoon in a magic swamp without magic so... Basically that, except with Fate, and Farah and Saul supervise, for 3 days. Oh and Bloom is hearing voices, nbd.
~
“In class we have discussed the idea that your magic is tied directly to the land, to nature. Now, you will be putting that into practice. Each and every one of you, regardless of the magic you were born with, holds a connection to the world around you. This field trip is designed to test your ability to commune with the voice of nature. It is not enough to hear it, you must also listen to it, and,” Farah pauses, making sure each and every one of them is listening, “You may not use any magic.”
As with Saul’s not-so-gentle reminder, Farah’s declaration is equally a call-back to previous conversations leading up to this trip; whether they remembered, of course, is another matter, but now that they’re here, she’ll have none of them claiming ignorance of the rule. The murmuring sets up again, a decidedly disgruntled tone Farah ignores. A hand goes up amongst the grumbling and Farah nods to the light fairy it belongs to.
“Yes Amaryl.”
“If we can’t use magic how’re we supposed to ‘hear’ the voice of nature?”
“That’s what you’re meant to find out,” Saul interjects, “That’s why it’s a test.”

Could you please tell us what are the side effects of cutting the red string
It depends on how MC chooses to cut the strings, in a cautious manner or harsher manner.
The cautious type of cut has the probability of 28% of receiving the side effects, while the harsher type of cutting has the probability of 63% of receiving the side effect.
Side Effects of Cutting
Memory loss regarding any traces of the existence of their past fated soulmate
Blurry Vision and Hallucinations
Vomit
Intense headache and Nausea
Unbearable Pain
Fatigue
Breathing Troubles
Coughing up blood
Erratic behavior
These side effects lasts for a week.
If the string’s owner is weak willed, these symptoms can make them reach their death. For average folks, usually, they'd be sent to a mental asylum first since these symptoms didn't come out of a disease.
And these side effects very much help with MC's business. Since the victims focus on the sudden damage they received, they won't be in a good state to even remember the face of a stranger who they just met. It's much a different case for someone who's used to seeing MC's face wink wink.
MC never killed anyone, they just let these symptoms take over the victim's mental state after taking a big chunk of their money 😈

How you'd rewrite Dishonored death of the outsider if it was fully fledged game with 10 missions? (like Dishonored or Dishonored 2)
Oooh!! Enrichment in my enclosure - thank you for asking! Thinking about a total rewrite was a great exercise. Fair disclaimer: I haven’t read the books & their canon-status can’t hurt me. To me, the Dishonored games stand out due to their immsim design philosophy, and thinking about some of the industry reasons for DotO’s departure from that, if I could make a standalone game with ~ten levels I would, but with the same budget I’d also happily make two DLCs made slowly over a longer timeframe with greater attention to detail.
Game structure
Finding Daud // Billie’s past
The fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Game story
Setting & Characters
Billie: What has Billie been doing since she’s returned to Serkonos? Knowing the Dreadful Wale will sink, she’s sold it for scrap & has set up an agency in Lower Aventa. She’s something of a detective/odd-jobs man (& assassin when it suits her). Business is booming, life is good. I think a long-running implication that she's becoming Daud in some ways would make for an interesting subplot.
Karnaca: a city that unfolds. In the first levels, Billie feels like a forgotten woman, a ghost slipped through the cracks, but as levels progress there are hints & references to how her past actions have affected others & shaped the city
Alignments: Witches, gangs, religion, industry; missions for clients who can’t necessarily pay their way. Missions that allow the player to explore/understand Karnaca in a deeper way.
Daud: Billie is unsure if Daud again will bring her any closure. She’s been thinking of him since her time with Emily, and his name keeps popping up.
Deirdre: the charm is a more functional heart, similar to Jessamine, as well as her own character design. Perhaps she doesn’t see Deirdre until she chooses the powers, or until she’s in the void (see next point)
First arc: Finding Daud // Billie’s past
Powers: the Outsider offers Billie powers even though her life is finally, actually good, so she’s pissed off. A choice - she can take them, or play no powers mode.
Breanna Ashworth is this arc’s villain - she wants Delilah back, and knows that Daud has banished her before, wants to know how he did it. Grief & desperation has changed her, and she no longer has her high society veneer. The remnants of the Karnaca coven, now powerless, have stolen from the Overseers to arm themselves to the teeth, and to neutralise Daud’s powers, in addition to black bonecharms.
Billie’s in a race against time against Breanna to find Daud, but by the last level it becomes clear that Breanna *has* found Daud, and has been torturing him for information about the void. Her dynamic with Billie is complicated by their past.
I think betrayal would be an interesting theme, so maybe one of the levels gives you the option to ally yourself with Breanna under false pretences.
Second arc: choosing the fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Delilah is the core villain, but she’s obsessed with killing the Outsider so she can take his place, having been violently ripped from her perfect world in her own painting by Breanna (who meant well), & knowing the Empire doesn’t hold her interest... but a perfectly mouldable void & infinite power does take her fancy.
As remorseful Daud is obsessing about preventing Delilah from taking power, Billie’s doing some detective work and learns more about the Outsider (he’s not showing up and monologuing - she’s finding this out herself. A level idea could be a raid on a ‘haunted’ houses where the void is thin)
Delilah succeeds in taking the Outsider's place, leaving the Outsider dead or mortal depending on if you are able to save him. Delilah has split her soul from herself before and she’s very much clever enough to learn the Outsider’s name to render him mortal.
Daud knows he’s dying, though, and it might be an ultimate sacrifice to save both Billie’s life, and the Outsider’s.
So during the final battle, there’s an option to make Daud the Outsider, because Daud wants Billie and the Outsider to have a shot at a normal life, and his life was forfeit in his own mind…
… or, reluctantly accepting the Outsider’s help, Billie finds a way to cut the void’s access to the world, rendering Delilah an all powerful god over a dead & silent world.
Because of the past/present focus of this you could even have levels set in the past - missions with Billie & Daud. Perhaps Billie as POV character, and Daud dropping by the way that Billie did in Knife of Dunwall. That’d be neat.
A heap of ideas here, hope there was something you liked :)

Okay, I do want to know what kind of fic hides behind all of the names but in spirit of the season... What is The Fate of Christmas? 💫
I am so glad you asked 😂 it's an absolutely ridiculous, crack idea that I never intended to become anything. You know the Santa Clause movies? Picture that... But with Fate. And Saul as Santa Claus. Specifically, I've written the scene after the Christmas party between Scott and Carol from the 2nd movie but with Saul and Farah. That little drabble is complete enough it could see the light of day if people want it. And yes I know picturing Saul as Santa is a stretch but I never said it made sense 😂
~
"Should we be drinking and-”
“Sleighing?” Saul teases, and actually earns himself a huffed laugh and a playful smack on the arm. Farah rolls her eyes, and her smile, the brightest so far, is radiant. He forces himself to address her very real concern, rather than immediately chase the high that’s come with creating that smile, “We should be fine. I don’t feel anything, do you?”
“No,” and he’s glad, somehow, that her response sounds equally as strange as it felt to ask, because while he doesn’t feel the rushing buzz that typically comes with alcohol in his system -and he hasn’t, really, not since donning the big red coat- but he does feel a rush of… something. A something he hopes she feels too.

people will say clem should have died at the end of s4 like we didnt get the entire barn sequence. like clem didnt literally become lee in the end seeing his fate through her own eyes. like they didnt fake us out sooooo hard. like they didnt play take us back to hammer it home. the game ended on the pan out of the ericson gates and everything after that is the epilogue where things are Fine Actually and clem gets her happy ending. we got BOTH!!
like what you wanted her fate to be the same as lees? did you miss the themes throughout s4 of breaking the cycle?? did you miss aj feeling so helpless to a fate clem sees as inevitable? where all he wants is agency? where hes looking for another way?? he tells clem she wont always be able to tell him no and he was RIGHT!! he says NO to her death!! he makes his choice and SAVES HER!! she told him they couldnt be together in death and so he said then youll have to keep living!!!
and she does!!! she loses her leg but she gains a Home. a REAL ONE!! full of people who love her. where they get to choose their own paths and make their own future Together. and she finally gets some fucking Rest. a part of herself dies in that barn but a new part gets to emerge!! she gets to live a happy life surrounded by a loving community that she helps build!!! and you think she shouldve died 😐

headcanon K for Arcos and Marbella? ( ╹▽╹ )
C: what is heart-crushing and awful but fun to inflict on friends
when the time came and arcos died of old age, after a very long and happy life and surrounded by all his loved ones, lloyd knew it wouldn't take long for marbella to follow him. as much as he and javier had changed fate, some things are just as certain as the rising sun. so he just tends to her garden in his father's place and brings her fresh flowers every morning. marbella passes away with a garden in full bloom and the feeling of a soft kiss on her forehead.
bonus hc: lloyd takes up gardening once he grows older. it's not quite the hobby he'd had in mind when he was younger but he finds something very soothing in seeing the garden take on a new life every spring with his help. it feels like having a bit of his parents home again.
send me a character and a letter and i'll give you a headcanon!
